Six authors whose new books range in genre from humor to historical fiction will appear in the "Evenings With Authors” series sponsored by the Thurber House. The series, set to begin in early September, will include opportunities for audience members to have dinner with the authors before the events. Readings and conversations will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Columbus Museum of Art, 480 E. Broad St. (The museum is closed from Sept. 7 to Oct. 25, but the auditorium will be accessible for the events.)
